【Chapter 524: Space Rendezvous and Docking】

"Tell you a secret. This time, a special product of 200 grams of your hometown was specially prepared in the material replenishment. I helped you successfully apply for it. How about it? Is it interesting?"

"This closure fee is OK!"

"61 synchronization rate, Lao Li, ready to receive control of the cargo hold!"

"No problem!" Li Xingfeng turned slightly, and the external compartment beside him showed that a push board was opened, and a 7-inch crystal screen appeared inside. His fingers were ticking on the screen. After a while, a female Chinese voice sounded in the space suit: "Permission is being transferred!"

After finishing it, Li Xingfeng looked at the "Arc Eagle One" aerospace transport plane again.

On the other side, Ning Zebo in the cockpit stared at the display data and said, "71 synchronization rate! Distance is 133 yards!"

Xiaoliang pressed a yellow button and said at the same time: "The cargo hold starts to separate!"

Outer space, there was silence here, and almost nothing could spread the sound. At this moment, everyone stopped chatting, and the three of them were all focused without any distraction.

A group of foreigners in the space station looked curiously.

"Is this a new model of China's carrier spacecraft?"

"The company, to be precise, is produced by the company. It is said that this spacecraft can enter space without the help of a rocket booster!"

"What? You can enter space without a rocket booster? This is a spaceship!"

"Have China's space technology reached such an advanced level?"

After a while, they saw a more surprising scene.

In outer space, a transport aircraft that has maintained a synchronization rate of more than 70 with the Tianzhou began to change. One quarter of the head of the Mitsubishi cone-shaped body began to separate and slowly translated downward at an inclination of 35 degrees relative to the body level, and stopped until the top of the head was about to move below to maintain a level of level with the abdomen of the body.

At this moment, the transport plane seemed to have been cut diagonally from a quarter of the nose. The head was once hung on the edge of the body below the body, and nearly three-quarters of the core part of the body behind could see the interior through the mid-air diameter of the cut surface. A huge space capsule was fixed inside. It can be seen that the cargo compartment did not completely occupy the space inside the transport plane, which means it could carry more cargo.

At this moment, the brackets of the fixed cargo compartment were successfully separated, and the cargo compartment slowly drove out of the transport plane from the oblique surface, slowly left the transport plane, and finally completely separated from the transport plane. White mist was spraying out on the surface of the space capsule full of materials, slowly approaching the interface of the space station.

"95 synchronization rate! The relative distance is 46 yards!" Ning Zebo in the cockpit said as he looked at the cargo compartment. The transport aircraft always kept a distance of more than 100 yards from the space station. Li Xingfeng watched the cargo compartment get closer and closer, and then carried the cabin external wall to the opposite interface.

"99 synchronization rate!"

At this moment, Li Xingfeng could touch the cargo compartment with his hand. The red indicator lights at the two pairs of rays were flashing, getting closer and closer, 10 codes, 7 codes, 3 codes, 60 cm, 22 cm

The interface was contacted and the fixing frame was fixed. Li Xingfeng looked at the transport plane 100 meters away. At the same time, the "Arc Eagle One" had returned to its original state, and he gave a thumbs up to the window of the cockpit.

In the cockpit of the transport plane, a trace of arc appeared on the corner of Ning Zebo's mouth. After seeing the other party's gesture, he said calmly: "Fox Eagle 1 Call Command Center, the cargo compartment has completed the space junction and docking of Tianzhou and successfully received the supplies. The second phase of the task was successfully completed and the application was completed. Please instruct. Complete!"

A message came from the communicator: "Beautiful job! This is the command center. The application for the second phase of the task has been approved. The order will start the third phase of the task immediately and return! This is the final task. Don't make any trouble for me, it's over!"

"It's time to go home, Xiaoliang!" Ning Zebo looked at his deputy, who nodded slightly, opened several buttons and danced his fingers on the display panel, and said at the same time: "It is validating the return track, and the track changes will begin in 121 seconds!"

At this moment, it was already 40 minutes after the transport plane arrived in space. On the other side, Li Xingfeng, who was in outer space, came to the tail end of the cargo compartment. There was a cabin door here. After opening the cabin door and entering the cargo compartment, the pressure inside began to be charged.

"The air pressure is stable!" Li Xingfeng heard the voice report, then took off his aerospace helmet, found the cargo list very skillfully, and then opened the public communication channel dedicated to the space station, staring at the material list with a smile and reading: "All passengers on the ship, a batch of additional materials have been delivered, 6 tons of liquid nitrogen, 135 tons of pure liquid oxygen, 8 tons of various food, 45 tons of water or beverages, and the rest of the materials, solar panels, etc. are all non-edible products!"

"Let me see what I eat?" Li Xingfeng turned a page of the list and looked at the detailed list. He was slightly stunned and said, "Wow, there is a bottle of Taiping Island wine? A 1982-year-old Lafite? Uh, Matrix Technology sponsored? Only two bottles? This rich man is too stingy!"

Not to mention the expensiveness of this bottle of wine itself, the more expensive thing is the shipping cost. According to traditional shipping calculations, the two wines are worth two million US dollars. Li Xingfeng smiled and said, "It's a little less, but it's barely enough for everyone to share a piece of the pie."

When a group of foreigners in the core cabin heard such famous wine, everyone was cheering with a smile, especially the Russians who liked wine, with bright eyes. Drinking in outer space was prohibited, but this ban was lifted in 2006. Chinese astronauts were fine, but a group of foreigners had long yelled to bring some wine to the next time they were replenishing supplies, so that they could better work.

Li Xingfeng put the list back on the bulkhead, carried it with one hand and said, "Dalves, and Wu Bin, you two come and handle this batch of supplies. Remember to handle the solar panels carefully, have a good meal, have a good rest, and replace the old panels in the experimental cabin No. 2 in 6 hours. Wu Bin, you have to go with me, and Jackson, you two are forbidden to drink before work, but don't worry, your portion can't be escaped."

Just after the communication was over, Ning Zebo's single-line communication came again: "Old Li, the goods have been delivered, it's time to say goodbye!"

"Bon Voyage!"

In the cockpit of the Aerospace Transporter, Xiaoliang said again: "The return track has been completed!"

Ning Zebo continued: "Arc Eagle One Call Command Center, we will change the orbit and orbit the earth for one and a half weeks before returning to the atmosphere and returning, and it's over!"

"The headquarters has received it, I wish you all the best and the end!"

This is the last time I contacted the command center. There will be no contact during the spacecraft's return to the atmosphere, but the ground command center can monitor all the live data of "Arc Eagle One" through satellites.

"Prepare to change the orbit!" Ning Zebo turned his head and looked at his deputy. Returning to Earth was another uncomfortable journey.

In outer space, white gas was spewing out of the surface of the airspace transport aircraft, and the aircraft was adjusting its direction. Not long after, the "Arc Eagle One" accelerated the third time under the gaze of a group of astronauts from various countries on the space station, and flew forward faster than the space station. After the aerospace transport aircraft entered the new channel, it would orbit the earth for more than one week, and would return to the atmosphere at a certain cutting angle after 148 minutes.

To be continued.
